The camera in the iPhone 3G has never really impressed me – it’s results are never as good as my previous phone and look kinda blurry, so I typically tend not to use it other than to snap in the moment reminders or such. However, today I got an app for the iPhone that let me see the iPhone’s camera in a new light – Hipstamatic.

Hipstamatic attempts to recreate the style of analog instamatic cameras of yesteryear, with a variety of different lens, film, and flash filters. The results are surprisingly atmospheric, and suddenly the iPhone offers create chance to do something creative with its camera.

The app comes with a bunch of standard filters, but you can buy more in the app if you get tired of the standard ones. Well worth a look if you like taking pictures and have an iPhone.
